Chapter 111 Breaking the five elements, living and dying together
The golden roar of the Green Forest Army floated over one after another. Although it sounded normal to other people's ears, it was particularly harsh to Shi Jin's ears. The blows shook his eardrums, and the sound of buckles sounded. It tightened his heart.
"Brother, should we kill or not..." Yang Zhi asked Shi Jin: "Look at them, each of them has jet black armor and looks different from ordinary ones. If brother is not sure, how about I go up and test their skills first?"
Shi Jin did not speak. He did not look at the Xie Jiajun over there, nor at the camp of his Green Forest Army. He just lowered his head slightly and struggled in his heart. It became difficult to choose whether to advance or retreat.
Zhu Wu, who was far away on the ladder, saw the Green Forest Army on the battlefield refusing to retreat after hearing the sound. He felt a little anxious at the moment. He knew Shi Jin's temperament, and now he was afraid that Shi Jin would rush up and fight Xie Qianqiu to the death. Zhu Wu clenched his fists tightly, stared into the distance with his eyes, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
Shi Jin watched Xie Qianqiu and his soldiers and horses getting closer and closer amidst the majestic clattering sound of armor. The Coiling Dragon Stick in his hand was also held tighter and tighter, so tight that the stick could not help but shake. There was a low buzzing sound.
"Brother..." Lin Chong watched as Shi Jin tried to gather his last energy.
Shi Jin gritted his teeth, paused, and said resolutely: "Withdraw," Shi Jin said unambiguously. He immediately turned his horse's head and asked the rear team to change to the front team. Yang Zhi protected Lin Chong and left first. Lu Zhishen and Lei Heng One on the left and one on the right followed, and he finished behind with a coiled dragon stick. The group of Green Forest Army members immediately arrived at the trench.
At this time, Wu Yong and Di Yan had already arrived, using the newly built pontoon bridge to pick up Shi Jin and others. They immediately arranged for the wounded soldiers to enter the camp for treatment. After Lin Chong was briefly bandaged by the accompanying military doctor, Shi Jin was not at ease. , immediately sent people to Huayin County to invite Li Baicao to come in person.
And just when the Green Forest Army, which had just withdrawn from the battlefield, had just dismounted and rested for half a moment on this side of the trench, they saw Wu Yong personally leading five or six hundred people on fast horses, and Di Yan also led his troops. Soldiers and horses followed closely behind.
I saw that Wu Yong's soldiers and horses did not have any special equipment. Apart from the ordinary light armor, they did not even carry a spear, but only a simple sword on his waist. Even so, everyone Their hands were not empty, each of them carried a lot of dry firewood on their backs, and paper bags filled with sulfur and saltpeter hung on their waists. Of course, Di Yan's subordinates were all riding and shooting.
Shi Jin was curious and did not take a breath. He immediately got on his horse and looked at each other from a distance. At this time, Zhu Wu, who had come down from the ladder, came on horseback and stood in front of Shi Jin. He said, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Come back and make everyone worry,"
"Military Wu and the others are..." Shi Jin pointed in the direction Juechen was heading and asked, "They are planning to use fire to attack."
"Yes, the Jin camp is about to rush through the predetermined range. Fortunately, you came back in time. If it had been delayed for another moment and a half, Wu Yong might not have been able to catch up and the group would have approached the trench." Zhu Wu said: "At that time, if you tried to use fire to attack, it would only prompt them to attack quickly. When the time comes, it would be a fierce fight between trapped animals."
Shi Jin nodded, turned the horse's head, and then continued to charge.
Zhu Wu quickly asked: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Don't let him hurt Military Advisor Wu, and don't let him kill him." The "he" Shi Jin mentioned here naturally refers to "Xie Qianqiu." Zhu Wu couldn't stop him, so he could only watch Shi Jin clap his horse and wave his stick. go.
At this time, Wu Yong had already met the Jinying head-on on flying horse, and when Xie Qianqiu saw that the person rushing towards him was not a military general, but a scholar holding a feather fan, he didn't take it seriously at the moment, but... When his eyes fell on those unarmed soldiers and horses carrying dry firewood, he screamed in his heart. However, this Jinying was not like the other soldiers and horses under his command. When he made up his mind to charge, he knew that he was coming. If he goes there, he will inevitably be restrained. He also knows that this battle will most likely end with no return, but he never expected that he would encounter such an opponent. At the moment, Xie Qianqiu is like a pawn crossing the river. He can only You can't go back when you're moving forward, and you have no choice but to think of only one way to postpone your immediate needs, which is to capture the thief first, capture the king first, and shoot the scholar first.
At that moment, Xie Qianqiu hung the halberd in his hand on the barb on the side of the horse, then took out a strong bow from the flying fish bag on his back. He took out three arrows from the arrow pot with his right hand. Xie Qianqiu Without looking at it, he immediately put the arrow feathers on the bowstring, and drew the bow like a full moon. He stared at the scholar tightly, and immediately let go of the string, and the three arrow feathers shot straight with a whoosh of three strong winds. Go towards the scholar's facade.
Just when the arrow feathers were still a foot away, the scholar's eyes were so sharp that he actually saw the arrow feathers in his eyes. He drew his hand and made a move. He didn't know where the weapon came from. A chain whip knocked out two of the arrow feathers in front of him with a crackling sound, and the remaining one was dodged as the scholar nimbly turned his back.
Xie Qianqiu saw that the fellow was not as weak as an ordinary scholar, and immediately felt that it was interesting. He put away his bow and arrows, drew out the painted halberd, and hurriedly went straight to the scholar.
At this moment, Wu Yong saw Xie Qianqiu coming towards him, and he was not panic at the moment. He put the long whip in his hand and galloped around the left wing, while the soldiers and horses behind him also followed quickly, divided into two groups. , one going forward and the other going backwards towards the golden camp.
Xie Qianqiu saw that the scholar did not dare to meet him head-on, so he urged his horse forward more and more to catch up. However, just as Xie Qianqiu was chasing after him, the Green Forest Army on the other side was already galloping slowly. As they approached the outskirts of the Jin camp, they saw that they were no longer close. Before the soldiers from the Jin camp came over, they untied the dry firewood behind them and threw it towards the soldiers and horses of the Jin camp, and then left. At this time, he did not forget to throw the "pin bag" around his waist at the dry firewood and the soldiers and horses of the Jin camp.
Xie Qianqiu shouted: "Come on," he wanted his Jinying to leave the more and more dry firewood accumulated first, but he was chasing the scholar on the outside, and he would be the same as anyone who threw dry firewood. However, Wu Yong was so smart that he was like a slippery ice block. He let his horse wander around in the chaotic battlefield, but Xie Qianqiu couldn't catch up. Xie Qianqiu took the crossbow again and again. He shot with his gun, but he didn't expect Wu to use the chaos of soldiers and horses to escape danger by dodging left and right, shooting down several green forest soldiers, but never hurting the scholar.
But under Xie Qianqiu's order, the soldiers of the Jin camp used all their strength and ran forward dragging their heavy armor. As soon as their vanguard troops walked out of the area full of dry firewood, they saw hundreds of sudden shots from all directions. Thousands of arrows rained down, and the arrow feathers brought blazing fire, trailing a thick or light black smoke.
Those streaks of fire streaked across the evening sky. Although they looked magnificent, they aroused the most disturbing fear in Jin Ying's eyes.
However, there was no room for recovery. It was like a fire-colored cage woven from all directions at the same time, enclosing all the soldiers and horses of the Jin camp inside. Xie Qianqiu's eyes quickly watched as they fell. , ignited the dry firewood below, and suddenly it turned into a carnival raging in a sea of fire.
The heavy armor of those sergeants became heavier and warmer in the sea of fire. However, before they could rush out of the sea of fire, the armor of large swaths of the sergeants had become hot, and the sergeant in the center was even more burned by this body. The burning flesh and blood were blurred, and the smell of burnt human flesh rose into the sky along with the fishy smell of evaporating blood. Although Xie Jiajun's military discipline was strict, they were able to restrain themselves from fear enough to want to escape, but it was absolutely impossible for them to do so. Stop yourself from screaming miserably before death.
The screams of pain and the figures twisting and struggling in the fire immediately made Xie Qianqiu unable to bear to hear and look at him. He gritted his teeth tightly, with a hint of madness in his perseverance, and stubbornly held his breath. With a little determination, he poured out all his grief and indignation on the scholar, and quickly pursued the scholar.
The fire was burning fiercely, and in a moment it was like a terrifying demon that had harvested half of the lives of the soldiers of the Jin camp of the Xie family army.
The Green Forest Army who had completed their mission had no time to enjoy the grand bonfire they had made with their own hands. They followed the original military advisor's instructions and galloped away quickly towards the suspension bridge towards the camp, closely following behind. Wu used zigzags to dodge Xie Qianqiu's impact. However, at this moment, Xie Qianqiu seemed to have completely activated the devil in his heart, and he kept chasing with his life, sometimes using arrows, sometimes using crossbows, chasing When the enemy was tight, he waved his halberd and attacked directly.
Seeing that Wu Yong could not hide, he waved his long whip in vain, hoping to take advantage of Xie Qianqiu's confusion to escape. However, Xie Qianqiu clearly saw Wu Yong's falsehood and stepped aside. , a halberd was thrust towards Wu Yong's back of the heart.
At the critical moment, a person suddenly appeared from the side. There was only a sound of golden clanging, and Xie Qianqiu's painted halberd was blocked by a long stick.
Xie Qianqiu reined in the horse suddenly, and when he took a closer look, he saw a naked young man standing on the horse holding a stick, with nine lifelike flying dragons flying on his chest and back.
,,The flying dragon is in the sky, Mr. Li Jian...
,,If you see the Nine-Five, you will return; if you see the Yulong, you will surrender...
These words seemed to be implanted in Xie Qianqiu's mind, but they rang out at an inappropriate time at this critical moment, echoing in his heart and mind, repeated over and over again, and lingering.
Xie Qianqiu knew that the person in front of him was Shi Jin. Without saying a word, he shouted loudly, waved his halberd and charged at Shi Jin to fight.
